Crews

Crews are resources that are available for use throughout the project and can be managed via the Resource Manager. You can assign the crews to maintenance tasks.

The Crew window allows you to create, view and edit crews. It can be accessed by clicking the Create New or View/Edit icon in the Crew wizard, which is accessed from Crew fields in properties windows (e.g., the Crew for task field in the Maintenance Task window).

  

It can also be accessed from the Crews page of the Resource Manager by choosing Home > Edit > New, by selecting a crew and choosing Home > Edit > View or by double-clicking a crew.

For a new resource, a name will be proposed automatically based on the default naming criteria established for the current database (See Define Default Name Formats window). You can replace this with your own name of up to 150 characters, if desired. Remember that the name and identifiers are the primary way in which your team will be able to find the Synthesis resources you need for your analyses.

The following settings are available to configure the crew:

For a given simulation, a crew’s logistic time is constant across that one simulation for the task. It is taken randomly from its distribution or from its fixed time.

For on condition tasks, if the same crew performs the inspection and preventive maintenance and there are logistic delays associated with the crew, the logistic delays will be factored into the simulation for both parts of the task.

You can collapse or expand all nodes in the hierarchy using the Collapse All and Expand All icons.

  

You can resize the columns by pointing to the column splitter. When the pointer becomes a double-headed arrow, drag the splitter to the desired location. You can restore the column widths to their original settings by clicking the Restore Column Widths icon.

For an existing resource, a link at the bottom of the properties window indicates how many times it is currently being used. If you need more information, click the link or the Trace Usage icon.

This opens the Dependency Viewer, which allows you to explore both where the resource is being used and what other resources are associated with it.
